Ruff - Bowling Green.
A 'bitty' day today. The morning was spent watching Joel's team beat arch rivals Alphington Allstars. Great to see Joel back in action after a prolonged injury-induced break. A quick look at Bowling Green produced the long-staying Ruff, with c1/200+ Avocet, and a lightning stop at Ludwell Valley produced 2/3 Green Sandpiper and 2 Chiffchaff.
This afternoon the gulls on the Otter disappointed, but it was nice to watch a roosting Tawny Owl. Just a couple Ringed Plovers, 2 Rock Pipit and a Meadow Pipit were the only other species to make the notebook.
A quick look at Hayes Barton on the way home produced 4+ Brambling among c100+ Chaffinch. Also noted - 2 Mistle Thrush, c10+ Redwing, 1 Chiffchaff, c5+ Meadow Pipit and 3 Red-legged Partridge.
Last thing this afternoon - both the Long-tailed Duck and the Slavonian Grebe were scoped from Exmouth Quay.
